The importance of Mass Media
There are many different ways to get knowledge about our big world. It is travelling and going sightseeing, meeting interesting people, reading books, etc. But one of the best ways of getting new information is mass media. We live today in what has been characterized as a mass-mediated culture, a culture in which the mass media play a key role in both shaping and creating cultural perceptions. The mass media do not simply mirror society. They help to create the very world they purport to cover.
The mass media have done and continue doing much to excite an interest in every aspect of the country’s life. The mass media are the various ways by which information and news is given to large numbers of people , especially television, radio, Internet, newspapers and magazines. The mass media now play an important role in shaping our opinion. As a result of these developments mass media eventually emerged and led to the creation of a mass audience, a large collection of people who receive messages that are directed at them not as individuals but rather as a group.
I think it is impossible to imagine our life without newspapers. Millions of copies of them appear every day. Many people subscribe to two or more newspapers: others buy newspapers at the newsstands.
Most newspapers contain news, detailed articles on home and international affairs, reviews of books, art and TV shows. Many of them also cover sports events, give personal advertisements and pieces of advice, and publish horoscopes, weather forecasts, jokes, anecdotes and crossword puzzles.
Most national newspapers express a political opinion, and people choose them according to their political beliefs.

Newspapers
In the past people learnt about news from newspapers. Nowadays people usually learn what is happening in the country and in the world from TV or radio news programmes or from the Internet.
We cannot imagine our life without newspapers. There are dozens of them on every news-stand. There are newspapers for professionals, for businessmen, for children and teenagers, for men, for women, for sports fans, for those who are interested in gardening and for those who keep pets.
Some newspapers publish serious articles on politics, economy and finance, some aim to entertain their readers. Many newspapers express certain political opinion and people choose them according to their own political beliefs. In short, you can always find a paper which suits your interests.
There are two main types of newspaper: “broadsheets” and “tabloids”. Broadsheets are often larger than tabloids, and are “serious” newspapers. They present the news
in detail, and do not have many stories about the private lives of famous people. Tabloids, on the other hand, are much more interested in news and scandals involving stars than they are in serious news. They often have very big headlines, particularly on the front page, and have lots more photographs.
Besides, there are many free local newspapers which are put into your postbox whether you ask for it or not. Probably they are not interesting, because they consist mainly of advertisements, but you can find a lot of useful telephone numbers and addresses there.
TV, radio and the Internet have their advantages but nothing can substitute newspapers.

THE UK MASS MEDIA
Texts for reading
BRITISH PRESS
In Britain there are 12 national daily newspapers and most people read one of them every day. Daily newspapers are published every day of the week except Sunday. Sunday newspapers are larger than daily newspapers. All the Sunday newspapers are national. Most national newspapers in Britain express a political opinion, most of them are right-wing, and people choose the newspaper that they read according to their own political beliefs.
Fleet Street in London used to be the home of most national daily and Sunday newspapers and that is why people often say “Fleet Street” to mean “the press” even now.
British newspapers can be divided into 2 groups: quality and popular. Quality newspapers are more serious and cover home and foreign news while popular newspapers like shocking, personal stories. These two groups of papers can be distinguished easily because he quality newspapers are twice he size of the popular newspapers.
The quality daily papers are :The Times”, “The Guardian”, “The Daily Telegraph”, and “The Financial Times”. “The Times”, founded in 1785, is considered to be the most authoritative newspaper voice in the country and is said to be the paper of the Establishment (истаблишмент, власть имущие, правящие круги). The “Guardian” appeals to well-educated readers interested in in intellectual and social affairs. “The Daily Telegraph” is bought by educated upper middle and middle-class readers. The “Financial Times”, printed on pink papers, is read by businessmen.
The “popular” press consists of the “Daily Mail”, the “Daily Express”, the “Daily Star” and the “Sun”/ In all newspapers there is a desperate fight to maintain or improve their circulations but it is worst among the “popular” papers whose main weapons are sex, scandal and sport.
Apart from London-based papers, there are many newspapers. Most of these are evening papers (there is only one London evening paper) and many appear quickly.

TV AND RADIO
Broadcasting in the United Kingdom is controlled by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the Independent Television Commission (ITC). The BBC receives its income from the government, but the private companies are controlled by the ITC which replaced in 1991 the IBA.
National radio is controlled by the BBC, and listeners can choose between four stations. Radio 1 is a pop-music station with news and magazine-style programmes. Radio 2 plays light music and reports on sport. Radio 3 plays classical music, and Radio 4 has news programmes, drama and general interest programmes. There are many local stations, some private and some run by the BBC. Their programmes consist mainly of music and local news.
The BBC has two TV channels. BBC 2 has more serious programmes and news features. There is a break for advertisements about every 15-20 minutes. The IBA is responsible for looking after the regional independent TV companies who broadcast their own programmes and those they have bought from other regions. The most recent independent channel is Channel 4, and it has more specialized programmes than the main channels. In general, people think the programmes offered on British television are of a very high standard. Some people, however, are becoming worried about the amount of violence on TV, and the effect this may have on young people.
TV and radio are also two of the main teaching channels used by the Open University. This ‘university of the air’ allows many thousands of students to study at home for degrees they never would have obtained in the main educational system. They also have to do without sleep as most of their programmes are broadcast early in the morning or late at night.
‘Top of the Pops’ is a programme that has been shown every week on BBC TV for many years. Each week computers in a number of record – shops throughout the United Kingdom show how many copies of a record have been sold that week. The new chart, issued each Tuesday evening, shows which singles have sold the most copies during the previous week. With this information, the show’s producers decide which songs will be played. Usually it will be those moving up the charts, or the new releases which the disc jockeys (usually called DJs) think will be ‘hits’. Of course, each week the show finishes with the number one single. Bands either appear live in the studio, or in a video recording made especially to sell the record. These videos have become so important in the last few years that they can help to make a record a hit.
THE US MASS MEDIA
Texts for reading
AMERICAN PRESS
There is no real national press in the USA as there are more than 85 newspapers published in 34 languages. There exist two main groups of newspapers: qualities and populars. Only 2 or 3 newspapers with the largest circulation tell their readers about some rumors or crimes.
Quality newspapers contain only reliable serious information. They may also publish cartoons. “The Wall Street Journal”, “The New York Daily News”, “The USA Today”, “The New York Times” have the largest circulation among the daily newspapers. The main function of press in America is to give objective information. The materials should be given in full volume and newspapers should give floor to all possible facts and opinions. There is also no secret information for the press.
The information is usually taken from the News Agencies. The largest and most famous of them are: Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI). There also exist about 122 domestic and foreign news bureaus in the USA.
There are over 4000 monthly and 1300 weekly magazines in the USA. Among them are: “National Geographic”, “Reader’s Digest”, “Cosmopolitan”, “Time”, “Vogue” and others. Women’s magazines publish all sorts of recipes, stories about local or outstanding women, furnishing questions and other items. 
As we know the USA is a big country and that is why local newspapers are more important than national ones. A greater part of the country reads «The New York Times», «The Chicago Tribune», and «The Wall Street Journal». But such newspapers as «The Washington Post», «Daily News», «The Baltimore Sun», «The Philadelphia Inquirer», «The St Louis Post Dispatch» and «The San Francisco Examiner» are also very popular. Large monopolists control the most of US newspapers.
It’s a well-known fact that in the 20th century newspapers have ranged from tabloids featuring pictures and sensational news to «responsible journals». Their pages include columns devoted to news, editorials, letters to the editor, business and finance, sports, entertainment, art, music, books, comics, fashion, food, society, television and radio. As the great number of news agencies grew, America’s press lost its individualistic character.
Although there are no separate Sunday papers in America as there are in Great Britain, US daily papers have Sunday special editions. Many of them are remarkable in size: «The New York Times Sunday edition regularly has over 200 pages. «The New York Times» sells more than two million copies each day.
Aside from a few notable exceptions like «The New York Times», «The St Louis Post Dispatch», «The Washington Post» are daily filled with violence. This press contains murders, divorces and gang fights. It also has gossip columns, horoscopes, comics, crossword puzzles.
Almost every American newspaper carries comic strips, usually at least a page of them.
Publishing books in America is rather a prosperous business. America is on the 9th place in the world by the books, published and read. Public libraries always organize book sales. Most newspapers and magazines publish chapters from the books of young authors.
TV AND RADIO
The problem of describing American radio and television lies in the simple fact: there’s so much of it, so many different types and so much variety. At the end of the 20th century there were over 9.000 individual radio stations operating in the United States. By this time their number has grown dramatically.
There are public and educational radio stations. They are owned and operated primarily by colleges and universities, by local schools and boards of education, and by various religious groups. At the same time in the late 90-s there were close to 1,200 individual television stations. Of these TV stations, just 300 were noncommercial. Like the non-commercial radio stations, the non-commercial television stations are supported by individual donations, grants from foundations and private organizations, funds from the city, state and federal sources.
Laws prohibit any state or the federal government from owning or operating radio and television stations (stations such as Voice of America may only broadcast oversea There is no also governmental censorship or «reviewing» of programs and content. There are no governmental boards or appointed groups which control any radio or television broadcasting. However, all commercial stations are required to devote a certain percentage of the broadcasting time to «public service» announcements and advertising. These range from advertisements for the Red Cross blood drives and for dental care to programs on Alcoholics Anonymous and car safety. This broadcasting time given to public service messages is free of charge.
There is a great variety among radio and television stations. The big cities are served by large number of local radio stations. People who live in cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago have choice up to 100 AM and FM stations. The same may be told about television stations. Smaller cities have one or two local stations and larger cities ten or more. In Los Angeles, for example, there are over 18 different local television stations.
Among the great variety of local, private, non-commercial radio stations in America, there exists the National Public Radio Network (NPR). It is an association of public radio stations. NPR is known for its quality news and discussion pro-rams. Another public radio network, American Public Radio (APR) created a commentary and entertainment program for all ages called The Prairie Home Companion. The largest television networks are CBS, NBC ABC, CNN, ESPN (the all-sports cable network), MTV and PBS. The level of quality, whether in national and international news, entertainment, or education that these networks offer is excellent. Children and parents in many parts of the USA and even the world are familiar with Sesame Street, The Muppet Show or Reading a Rainbow.

Mass Media
To live in the modern world is impossible without expanding your knowledge in all spheres. There are several ways of communicating the world of individuals-mass media, books, travelling, museums, meeting eminent people. Of all the existing ways, there are two which are the easiest, those are mass media and travelling. It’s not a secret the different media are used to communicate news and entertainment. They include print media and electronic media.
Mass media play an important role in our life. They are usually defined by encyclopedias as any of the means of communication, such as radio, television, newspapers, magazines, etc. that reach and influence a very large audience, at least as large as the whole population of a nation.I believe mass media are so influential because they can be used for various purposes: popularization, education, entertainment etc.
Mass media play a crucial role in forming public opinion. But how much do the media influence the modern society? Early critiques suggested that the media destroys the individual’s capacity to act autonomously. Later studies, however, suggest a more complex interaction between the media and society. People actively interprete and evaluate the media and the information it provides.

Whether we realize it or not, TV plays a very important part in our lives. It’s the main source of information and a cheap form of entertainment for millions of people. It’s the window on the world which gives us an opportunity to “travel” all over the world, to “meet” different people and learn about their customs and traditions. It has the power to educate and broaden our minds.
It helps us to relax after a hard day’s work and escape from reality.
There’s always a great variety of programmes on TV: news and sports programmes, talk shows and TV games, documentaries and feature films, concerts and theatre performances… Of course, not all programmes are good. But many are made in good taste and with great professional skill.
Some people argue that television is a terrible waste of time. It makes us lazier. We stay at home instead of going out. We read less. We think less. We even talk less. It’s true that some TV addicts spend hours watching whatever’s on – from second-rate soap operas to silly commercials.
Violence on TV is another problem that worries people, as TV teaches us “how to kill, to rob, to shoot and to poison”. The same can be said about computer games and many films and books. And if you don’t like a certain programmme, why watch it?

For him TV is the last resort. He only watches it when it’s raining or when he’s ill.

A. |
As in many other European countries, Britain’s main newspapers are losing their readers. Fewer and fewer people are buying broadsheets and tabloids at the newsagent’s. In the last quarter of the twentieth century people became richer and now they can choose other forms of leisure activity. Also, there is the Internet which is a convenient and inexpensive alternative source of news. |
|
B. |
The ‘Sunday papers’ are so called because that is the only day on which they are published. Sunday papers are usually thicker than the dailies and many of them have six or more sections. Some of them are ‘sisters’ of the daily newspapers. It means they are published by the same company but not on week days. |
|
C. |
Another proof of the importance of ‘the papers’ is the morning ‘paper round’. Most newsagents organise these. It has become common that more than half of the country’s readers get their morning paper brought to their door by a teenager. The boy or girl usually gets up at around 5:30 a.m. every day including Sunday to earn a bit of pocket money. |
|
D. |
The quality papers or broadsheets are for the better educated readers. They devote much space to politics and other ‘serious’ news. The popular papers, or tabloids, sell to a much larger readership. They contain less text and a lot more pictures. They use bigger headlines and write in a simpler style of English. They concentrate on ‘human interest stories’ which often means scandal. |

E. |
Not so long ago in Britain if you saw someone reading a newspaper you could tell what kind it was without even checking the name. It was because the quality papers were printed on very large pages called ‘broadsheet’. You had to have expert turning skills to be able to read more than one page. The tabloids were printed on much smaller pages which were much easier to turn. |
|
F. |
The desire to attract more readers has meant that in the twentieth century sometimes even the broadsheets in Britain look rather ‘popular’. They give a lot of coverage to scandal and details of people’s private lives. The reason is simple. What matters most for all newspaper publishers is making a profit. They would do anything to sell more copies. |
|
G. |
If you go into any newsagent’s shop in Britain you will not find only newspapers. You will also see rows and rows of magazines for almost every imaginable taste. There are specialist magazines for many popular pastimes. There are around 3,000 of them published in the country and they are widely read, especially by women. Magazines usually list all the TV and radio programmes for the coming week and many British readers prefer them to newspapers. |

THE IMPORTANCE OF MASS MEDIA
There are many different ways to get knowledge about
our big world. It is travelling and going sightseeing, meeting interesting
people, reading books, etc. But one of the best ways of getting new information
is mass media. We live today in what has been characterized as a mass-mediated
culture, a culture in which the mass media play a key role in both shaping and
creating cultural perceptions. The mass media do not simply mirror society.
They help to create the very world they purport to cover.
The mass media have done and continue doing much to
excite an interest in every aspect of the country’s life. The mass media are
the various ways by which information and news is given to large numbers of
people , especially television, radio, Internet, newspapers and magazines. The
mass media now play an important role in shaping our opinion. As a result of
these developments mass media eventually emerged and led to the creation of a
mass audience, a large collection of people who receive messages that are
directed at them not as individuals but rather as a group.
I think it is impossible to imagine our life
without newspapers. Millions of copies of them appear every day. Many people
subscribe to two or more newspapers: others buy newspapers at the newsstands.
Most newspapers contain news, detailed articles on
home and international affairs, reviews of books, art and TV shows. Many of
them also cover sports events, give personal advertisements and pieces of
advice, and publish horoscopes, weather forecasts, jokes, anecdotes and
crossword puzzles.
Most national newspapers express a political
opinion, and people choose them according to their political beliefs.
Составление
монологического высказывания по теме “What is news?”
WHAT IS NEWS ?
What is news? The kind of event that becomes news depends on
several factors. When did it happen? To be news it must be immediate and
current. What happened? Was the event important? If so, it’s news. How and
where did it happen? Who did it happen to, and what may happen as a result? The
answers to all these questions make up what we call news.
What kind if stories make news? Accidents, murders,
awful fires – do only sad events make news? It depends on what is happening on
a particular day. At first glance
it may seem that newspapers print more “bad” news than
“good” news. On certain bad days that may be true, but
if you look through a typical newspaper, you may be
surprised at the amount of good news on its pages.
Events make news because they are out of the ordinary.
To most people, a story that describes an unusual happening is far more
interesting than one about what’s happening and if an important event happens,
it’s news, good or bad.

NEWSPAPERS
In the past people learnt about news from newspapers.
Nowadays people usually learn what is happening in the country and in the world
from TV or radio news programmes or from the Internet.
We cannot imagine our life without newspapers. There are
dozens of them on every news-stand. There are newspapers for professionals, for
businessmen, for children and teenagers, for men, for women, for sports fans,
for those who are interested in gardening and for those who keep pets.
Some newspapers publish serious articles on politics,
economy and finance, some aim to entertain their readers. Many newspapers
express certain political opinion and people choose them according to their
own political beliefs. In short, you can always find a paper which suits your
interests.
There are two main types of newspaper: “broadsheets” and
“tabloids”. Broadsheets are often larger than tabloids, and are “serious”
newspapers. They present the news
in detail, and do not have many stories about the private
lives of famous people. Tabloids, on the other hand, are much more interested
in news and scandals involving stars than they are in serious news. They often
have very big headlines, particularly on the front page, and have lots more
photographs.
Besides, there are many free local newspapers which are put
into your postbox whether you ask for it or not. Probably they are not
interesting, because they consist mainly of advertisements, but you can find a
lot of useful telephone numbers and addresses there.
TV, radio and the Internet have their advantages but
nothing can substitute newspapers.
AFTER QUESTIONS:
1. Do you read newspapers regularly?
2. What kind of newspapers do you prefer?
3. Does your family subscribe to any newspaper?
4. What are two main types of newspapers?
5. Do you prefer to read broadsheets or tabloids?
6. What “quality”, “broadsheet” newspapers do you
know?
7. What does a “tabloid” mean?
8. Is tabloid press much more popular than the quality
press?
9. Do you follow sports news in newspapers?
10. Do you read reviews of new films and books?
11. Do you like to read articles on politics and finance?
12. Do you read any newspaper in English?

TV OR NOT TV?
Whether we realize it or not, TV plays a very important
part in our lives.
It’s the main source of information and a cheap form of
entertainment for millions of people.
It’s the window on the world which gives us an opportunity
to “travel” all over the world, to “meet” different people and learn about
their customs and traditions.
It has the power to educate and broaden our minds.
It helps us to relax after a hard day’s work and escape from
reality.
There’s always a great variety of programmes on TV: news and
sports programmes, talk shows and TV games, documentaries and feature films,
concerts and theatre performances…
Of course, not all programmes are good. But many are made
in good taste and with great professional skill.
Some people argue that television is a terrible waste of
time. It makes us lazier. We stay at home instead of going out. We read less.
We think less. We even talk less.
It’s true that some TV addicts spend hours watching
whatever’s on – from second-rate soap operas to silly commercials.
Violence on TV is another problem that worries people, as TV
teaches us “how to kill, to rob, to shoot and to poison”.
The same can be said about computer games and many films
and books.
And if you don’t like a certain programmme, why watch it?

Составление диалогов теме
“What sort of viewer are you?” («Какой ты зритель?»)
WHAT KIND OF VIEWER ARE YOU ?
Everyone has a different way of using television. Here are
some types of television viewers.
The absent-minded
This type of viewer leaves the TV on all day. In the
meantime, he eats, phones, reads or does his homework. For him television is
really just background noise for his day.
The addict
He won’t give up TV for anything in the world. He watches
the programmes in silence, with great concentration. Even during commercials,
he won’t leave the screen for fear of losing a second of the programme. He
usually chooses the programmes he wants to watch very carefully.
The bored
He puts the TV on when he’s got nothing better to do.
For him TV is the last resort. He only watches it when it’s
raining or when he’s ill.
